The Education of Alexa Read online

  Zafir hadn't returned, and Alexa would be damned if she was going to let this night end on this bitter note. She cleaned herself up as well as she could, pulled her robe back on, and stepped into the hallway, looking for any sign of either the bishop or any guards. Seeing no one, she moved silently into the dark prison, intrigued by the prisoners therein. Some part of her wanted to set them free, see if they would be strong enough to escape the Spire, perhaps watch Master Zafir burn them alive one by one. But a larger part wanted to watch the handsome Mariner go toe-to-toe with the bishop, just to see what would happen. The brief moment of battle they shared was frightening indeed, but also extremely sexy. Perhaps another time, she thought to herself, tonight I'm going to be Alexa again.

  Chapter 4. Old Friends

  Visandra couldn't believe her eyes. Turning this way and that in front of the full-length mirror, she examined her knees, healing so quickly she'd be hard-pressed to convince anyone of the trauma they'd endured in the stocks. Her walking pace was normal again, although she wouldn't be dancing in the moonlight any time soon. She owed so much to the cleric, and thinking of his hands at work brought her eyes to her shaven pubis, beautiful in its seeming innocence. She had been ashamed to glance at or touch her sex following her punishment, but the shave and his healing hands made her feel renewed, virginal. He'd given her the gift of feeling good about her sexuality, and she desperately wanted to reward him for it. If only he'd come to visit me in the Angular Wood, she thought, I would show him some real magic. It was nice just to have someone treat her like a normal person, someone who deserved his help and respect. Even her best friend had treated her like a pariah since the stocks.

  A knock came at the door, and Vis jumped, her breasts bouncing in the dim light. She was far more easily startled than she had been before her punishment, but was overtaken with curiosity as she wrapped her robes around her naked form. Another knock, and a familiar female voice called to her.

  “Vis, it's me, open up,” Alexa's voice called from the other side of the door.

  A broad smile took over Visandra's face as she moved a little too quickly on her healing legs, opening the door with a flourish but almost toppling in the process. “Alexa, here, come in,” she said, impossibly happy to see her friend. They wore matching red robes, and their eyes shone in each other's presence. Alexa was happy to see her friend smiling and truly happy for the first time since her betrayal, but she wasn't in a jovial mood. They sat on Visandra's small bed and Vis leaned back onto her hands, a sitting posture she'd adopted in favor of her traditional crossed-legged stance, which had been impossible given her injuries. Alexa watched her friend's copper hair cascade off her shoulders, barely long enough to make contact with the skin below, following her graceful neck to the robes below. She remembered clearly seeing Vis in the throes of passion with three men and a woman in the Angular Wood, and what had angered and disgusted her at the time now excited her. “Lex?” she inquired, a touch of concern in her voice, and Alexa realized she had completely zoned out.

  “I'm sorry,” she replied, “what did you ask me?” Please let it be something dirty.

  “How are your studies coming along? I always thought you were a great . . .” Alexa couldn't wait any longer, and she leaned in and took Visandra's mouth on hers, putting her right hand around her friend's jaw and pulling her in for their first kiss. Vis didn't respond, stunned, and for a moment there was awkward silence to go with the unexpected show of affection. Just when Alexa thought she'd made a mistake, Visandra's tongue pushed into her mouth, and the awkward kiss became a passionate embrace. Alexa's mouth moved over her friend's jaw to her neck, and she hungrily tasted Visandra's flesh while Vis pulled her head down, opening the crease of her robe so that Alexa could run her tongue down to the nipple of her right breast. Alexa's curls brushed against her friend's chest as she took the nipple in her mouth, applying suction while she flicked her tongue on the tip, emulating the technique Zafir had used on her clit earlier that night. Vis moaned at the attention, taking in the physical and psychological sensations as her friend became her lover. “More,” she whispered, “I have two.”

  Alexa smiled and drew her friend's robe open further, focusing her attention on the left breast now, while moving her left hand to Visandra's face, caressing the skin. Vis took her friend's fingers in her mouth and began sucking on them, both women enjoying the sensation of having their friend in their mouth. Alexa was dripping wet before the kiss had even begun, the mere thought of being with Vis sensationally erotic. She wasn't sure if her friend was ready to offer herself to another after the humiliation she'd suffered, but Alexa wanted to be the one, when the time came. Here goes nothing, thought Alexa as she placed her right hand under Visandra's robes, tracing her thighs to her . . . wait, something's not right, she thought, just before the realization that Visandra's pubic hair was completely gone. Her fingers brushed against soft lips and moved downward, and Visandra's back arched to give her access to her slit. A gentle push of her fingers and it was clear to Alexa that both young women were extremely turned on, her friend's pussy slick with wetness.

  Alexa reflexively looked into her friend's eyes with a knowing grin, a gesture she'd done a thousand times since their kinship began years ago, and Vis nodded her head. “Yes, Lex,” she spoke, “I want you inside me.” The friends kissed again, deep and firm, as Alexa thrust her fingers inside her pussy, first one, then two, but avoiding a third until she was so well lubricated it felt natural to fill her up as much as she could. She withdrew her fingers, rubbing the wetness on Visandra's clit in a circular motion, mimicking her own masturbation technique. If only I had the scroll-roller, she thought, things would get really interesting. Alexa found that she could use her thumb on her friend's clit while she pumped her fingers in and out of her pussy, but wasn't certain if it was having much impact. This is harder than I imagined, she thought for a moment as she tried to angle her hand perfectly to give Vis an orgasm, but she was having the time of her life trying to figure her friend's body out.

  Alexa moved down to her friend's stomach, admiring her nakedness from the perfect angle before revealing her hairless vagina. She looked to her friend as if to ask how? and Vis just shyly smirked at her friend, in silent confidence about her secret. Positioning herself between Visandra's legs, she began to slowly lick the inside of her lips, tasting her sex and enjoying it immensely. Moving up her vulva, she nuzzled her nose into Visandra's clit, imagining watching the blonde-haired Druid woman pleasuring her friend in the Angular Wood. This brought back the memory of the animalistic fucking she engaged in with the muscular long-haired man, and Alexa pushed her three fingers into her friend's glistening pussy again, with force but not anger. As she flicked her tongue onto Visandra's clit and pumped her fingers in and out of her friend, Vis began to pinch and roll her nipples and moan loudly.

  “Yes, Lex, that's it, don't stop doing that,” she throatily spoke, and Alexa made certain to maintain the same pace and motion, vowing to herself not to stop until her friend exploded. Thankfully, her orgasm was quick to follow. “Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, Oh yes! I'm cumming!” Visandra's breathing was so heavy Alexa thought she might faint, and she looked for a window to open before thinking better of it. After a moment the redhead looked down at her friend and asked bluntly, “Where in the hell did you learn to do that?”

  “I've been thinking about it a long time,” replied Alexa, “and I'm not going to waste all my sexual energy on our most exalted leader.”

  Vis looked away, ashamed for a moment at whatever acts Alexa had performed to earn her freedom, and also jealous at the thought of her friend with the bishop. She'd grown to hate Master Zafir in the time since he turned against her, and saw her friend making a deal with the devil. She began to sob, softly, and her voice broke as she spoke, “I'm sorry, Lex, I can't stand the thought of you with him. This is all my fault.”

  “My friend,” Alexa replied, reaching up to touch her friend's face, “I've got him right where I want
him.” And now I have you right where I want you, she smiled inwardly before speaking again, “Things are going to be just fine.” Vis brushed away her tears and nodded her head lightly in support of the idea, although she knew things would definitely not be fine. During her sun-soaked meditation in the stocks, she asked Mother Earth to speak to her of the future, and she had seen it, plain as day. The Spire will crumble, a thousand tons of rubble with you at the bottom, my friend, unless I can find some way to prevent it.
